  Bitcoin's founding can be traced back to a whitepaper published by Satoshi Nakamoto in October 2008. The whitepaper outlined the concept of a decentralized digital currency and introduced the underlying technology called blockchain. The actual founding of Bitcoin occurred when the Genesis Block was mined in early 2009. This marked the beginning of the Bitcoin network and the first transaction, known as the 'Genesis Block coinbase transaction', included a message referencing a headline from The Times newspaper: 'The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.'
